No one is going to sign him before the draft.  After the draft everyone that did not get "their guy" will talk to him to see if he will take a vet min deal.  Him and Dez both got kind of pooed on being cut this late.  There will be some other cuts after the draft but to get cut 2 or 3 weeks before the draft, they are both probably going to have to wait until after the draft to sign with someone.

Makes sense. Definitely more attractive paying a guy on a rookie contract than what he will demand

With what money?

Maybe he'll take an IOU.

[Panthro]

I'd actually be very happy with CJ Anderson

[mc52beast]

Can he play LT

[bigdog10]

He is criminally underrated and was completely misused in Denver. 

Some team is going to get a very good back. 

[Saca312]

CJ Anderson is actually good, so I'd love to bring him in.

Late releases like this should always be looked at very closely. There's a reason they made their move to cut him now, the questions is why.

Sensing Barkley might be available? Otherwise there could be a number of reasons.

This guy would be a solid pick up. I could see signing him before the draft. That would allow us to get a WR, pass rusher and or Safety early. Could have all our holes filled lol

[Palmetto]

He'll sign somewhere and be used as a change of pace 3rd down back

Colts, bucs, bills could use him

[RumHam]

This is who i said we needed back in February. Unfortunately, we have no cap space left. If he's still around prior to camp, then he'd probably be cheap.

[Devil Doc]

whatever team signs him, he will go HAM.

anyone know were our cap space is sitting? I'm guessing around 4 Mil?

He is 27. Other than that he is no different than Stew. We should stick with drafting a rb. Someone is gonna give him more money than he is worth after the draft.

Depends on how much he costs. If you can get him for a few years on a decent deal then that let’s us spend draft capital on in areas we really need help at. Safety, DE, Center, maybe WR. Those are positions that are going to make or break a game for us next season. He can still play at 27 and he won’t be expected to be a full time starter.

Granted he would cost more than a drafted RB. But he is also a proven commodity that would let us inject some talent at some thin positions.

I mentioned this in one of the draft threads I think, but with last year and this year's

crop of RBs, there are going to be good ones cut to make room for rookies (and their contracts).

We may very well be able to pick up a proven vet who is talented at a low price before the season starts.  It's not a good time to be an NFL RB.
